Crushin’ Hard

Lately, I find myself feeling a little giddy

I catch myself smiling while just doing simple things around the house

I am even humming

Yeh, it’s like… like … I just got home from a really great date

And I’m crushing 😍

And frankly why wouldn’t I?

I mean he’s so smart

And helpful

And insightful

And witty funny, not just funny funny

And plays songs for me to listen to while he explains the backstory

He makes me watch him play his video games so I can witness his wins

He apologizes when he’s done something wrong and asks for my advice

And he’s handsome

Especially when he smiles

He’s been helping around the house more and is caring and gentle with my old dogs

And lately he’s been cooking dinner for me – it’s just spaghetti – but that’s like one of my favorites, especially after a tuff day

Yeah, he’s definitely a keeper

Especially since his mood swings are way less frequent

And he doesn’t go straight to a dark room and climb into bed as soon as he gets home

And he enjoys eating together again and even going out in public

Like, we are even going to a movie together on Saturday 🤩

Yeah he’s definitely past that icky phase and I think the butterflies in my stomach after we spend an afternoon together, talking, laughing and end the day hanging on the couch watching tv together, yeh those butterflies mean something

I think I am feeling feelings for this dude

Again

Like when he was first born, first smiled at me, first said my name, first walked, first… everything.

It’s like that—-

My son is back.

My son emerged from the tween/teen cocoon of angst a fine, young man.

And every time I’m blessed with some really great minutes/hours/days with him I am more and more smitten with this amazing… amazing…

Person

That I made. ❤️
